Abstract
The study concerns a collaborative and mediated learning situation, in order to show how subjects perform this activity and witch tools might help them. Three groups of two distant learners used a computer and worked by peer. They had to design operating instructions for a procedural task, an origami paper-folding. Instructions they had to co-write should allow someone to realize the origami. For that activity, they made use of a computer offering three areas: a personal video showing action of real hands folding a sheet of paper, and two shared areas: a chat and a text editor. Instructions had to be designed in the text editor. The two shared areas afforded traces of what had been done, providing for the co- writers immediate footprints of activity. With this testing, the goal was to observe the activity of mediated distant co-writing taking place and the possible self-regulation induced by activity marks from shared areas. More widely, we wanted to be present at how the cognition was distributed through the different areas of the environment for this particular task. All subjects’ actions on computer were recorded: chat interactions, edited text, video plays. Data are currently analyzed and results will be presented on the paper.
